Another day, another blog tour! It's a busy week around these parts. So last summer or fall (I can't remember, to be honest) I decided it would be fun to submit an original block to Quiltmaker's newest edition of their 100 Blocks magazine.

Well, Volume 7 hits newsstands next week and I am excited to have my block in the issue!

My block is called All Roads Lead Home and you can find it on page 68 I went with something a little more modern for my block. I think it's pretty nice on it's own but...

I REALLY like it as part of a complete quilt. I need to make one of these quilts out of real, live fabric now!

This issue is full of quilty-inspiration. A huge variety of blocks in all different styles by some very creative people. Quiltmaker Magazine is giving away a copy of this latest volume. If you'd like the chance to win one, just leave a comment on this post. Giveaway closes on Monday, May 6, at midnight MST. A winner will be randomly selected and notified. GIVEAWAY CLOSED.

I just fell in love with your quilt. This is so pretty and will look so lovely on my bed. A copy of QM 100 Blocks, Volume 7 would sure come in handy. There are so many gorgeous blocks that I want to make, yours included. Thank you for being a part of this tour and giving me a chance to win.

The block is wonderful! I love the aqua and gray with the white background. I'm anxious to see a print in as part of the block, too. It amazed me to see blocks come together for the secondary pattern to pop.

Love your block! This would work perfectly for the 'I Spy' quilt I'm collecting fabric for. Hmmm. Is also a perfect pattern for a 'Family Album' quilt with lots of printed photos. You've inspired me!! Thanks so much for the block and the chance to win.

Love your comment about making a quilt out of real live fabric! I spend so much time playing in Electric Quilt, I have to make special trips to my stash room to see what real live fabric looks and feels like! LOL

I really like this block! I've been looking for a block/quilt pattern to highlight some favorite fabrics. I'd been considering a square in a square, but I may go with your block instead; the lattice-work look is really striking.
